Good show. Just finished it. My only quibble is unrealistic wound recovery. (Not that that isn't a common thing in action series)

There are some spots they group up in 6-10 in numbers. There's an area south of the Peeping Tom (All Seeing, had to look it up) badge (between the grass and building. That's either malta, carni, or nemesis. And a bit further south, by the buildings, or under the roof is another spot. Not sure if they show more often at different times, but I often will wipe the other groups to make room.

My completionists when I have a street sweep, I log in a level 50 alt on my other account. Though that doesn't help as much with the arcs that have low population hunts. Auto complete is sometimes my answer.

The servers are going through their weekly maintenance. The error message is a bit off. Server status can be seen via discord.

Last month I replaced my router and before that was having some bad network issues that while I found evidence with other programs, CoX was the worst. I suspect it's more sensitive to network problems.

Did a heck of a lot more hiking and photography, though not sure if I upped the amount that much because of sunset. Gaming wise, I volunteer programmed for Lacuna Expanse and helped keep it going for four more years before it shut down. And then moved back to Oregon and reinvolved with a cat shelter. HC been working well for casual play since 2019.

There's a P2W in each tutorial. Outbreak right in front of you when you start. Going Rogue just to the right when you start. Transact for Victory, natch Breakout is a bit obfuscated as Keister, but does show as a store in map. Other than that, I'm not sure about the idea, but one could just run thru most of the game as a temp power user. Most I think use them more for flavor, though there are some that are situational useful.

Yea, I still have the basics. Just didn't really retain my fluency after high school. My first words were in german.

Off and On; sometimes a couple one liners in general, answering help, recruitment, The most when I'm waiting on something else

I can understand German when it's yelled at me. (German grandparents)

Yep, there are missions from Tina Macintyre and Unai Kemen that have Psychic Clockwork that do not count toward gears.

I'll miss Punchy's banter.

My favorite easily recognized homage that got Generic'd was Heltor Skeletor. Costume was a little too spot on. 😄 And my Claws/Regen Scrapper that was on live, not a wolverine clone, more a homage to Hell Cat, though also from 20 years as a champions character.

Echo Faultline and it's quick. Original mission you were doing, iirc, psychic clockwork don't count toward the badge. Different enemy group.

Maybe a new currency? Everyone being changed to gray scale 2 dimensional? Architect Entertainment being changed to Archaeology Enterprises where instead we'll go dig out tickets from ancient ruins.

lack of pockets elsewhere?

try using a different browser to see if that makes a difference.

Huh. I have used chopsticks with cheetos and the like though.

What Luminara said and make sure you have the "Remember Me" box checked

A bit different from the ferry service between Talos & PI, but there is a sub that goes between Port Oakes, IP, Sharkhead, Striga, PI, Kallisti Wharf, Grandville, Moster Island, and The Abyss

Yep. I was talking specifically the PC game that was being worked on, and the character creator that came out of it. I used to have every supplement, etc... for Hero thru the end of 4th edition. (Decent number of later supplements, just didn't go full complete...) I hung out with the Hero Software folk who had introduced me to Champions in 1981. There was the first printing of the BBB (which had some binding issues from what I recall), a second one that held together, and a bit later came the one with the Hero Maker software. That was the Deluxe version that came out a little later. My memory is spotty, but the SW at the internet archive says 1993.

Totally different code base. The newer one does both 5th edition & 6th edition and is portable over many platforms. The old one, Hero Maker, you can run via dosbox and other emulators.

On a tangent, I had forgotten that Project Phoenix from Chimara and Phoenix Program during vietnam existed.

The Original Champions PC game was late 80s and the floppy disk with the character creator that came with an edition of the BBB (Perez cover) It's the only software that came out of it. The game itself you can find listed as vapor ware. Development was Hero Games (though I think it was a separate entity and most of the people doing development were ones I knew in college) Host of reasons it didn't happen. PPUE is Paragons & Protectors, Ultimate Edition. It's a good TTRPG

Are you running his missions at +4/x8? The Mu'Vork fight with him can be a bit tricky with that ambush, etc... Some of my chars can solo that level, others have to do it at base. (And mostly the ones that can do the max, went thru that arc ages ago since they're maybe level shifted once by then)
